Creator's Key Takeaways

Raj clearly loved it he's very enthusiastic um about the trip it was one of his all-time favorite vacations

I think the food was great um we had to eat in Coastal Kitchen for dinner every night I thought it was a good mix of activities

the White Mountain Pass uh Railway Excursion that was just it was breathtaking it was amazing

I highly recommend so the one thing I want to say as a final thought is that I don't think we would have been as well prepared for this trip as we were if it weren't for other Cruise vloggers
